Why did sg1 get cancelled

The Sci Fi Channel made the announcement not to renew the series on August 26, But Sci Fi does not own the SG-1 show. So, could the show simply be picked up by another cable station or network? Not a chance. Our contract with MGM prohibits it. We really felt like it was the right time to segue out, for the show not to overstay its welcome. How about movies or DVDs or even downloadable episodes via iTunes?

The fan base is fiercely loyal. The studio even went so far as to create a special section of their StargateSG1. Fans of the show started their own campaign SaveStargateSG1. Well, the diligence has paid off.

Wright himself plans to create the second film script and said it will involve time travel. The studio is targeting a Fall release for both projects — just a few months after the airing of Stargate SG-1 season The producers have expressed interest in starting a third series based on the Stargate world.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, and the Sci Fi Channel hopes that the spin-off series can stand alone. So, the future looks very good for the Stargate world.

The guy thst decided to cancel the show i probably the biggest looser in the all known univers. This show needs to continue. It has proven to be a great show. I believe season 11 and more should be produced as it reflects upon reality to a certain point!

All I can say is I am thoroughly disappointed with the whole thing! Seems to me like too big of a thing to have nicely resolved by the end of this season. I hate to see SG-1 go. I have been a loyal fan from the beginning. I think SciFi is making a big mistake. I guess SciFi will have another time slot now for more wrestling!

I hope everyone is right and someone picks up the serries and we can all enjoy a few more years of SG So SciFi might not be the worst hands to be in after all.. I loved Farscape, but they ended it after only 4 seasons, ie.

To little sci-fi, and way too much earthy military Top-Gun-in-space stuff for my taste. Are you serious, they wanted to get rid of Daniel Jackson? That has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.

He is the main character of the show. Without him ratings would have definately dropped and caused a similar domino affect of ratings dropping throughtout all of the scifi television shows.

One can only wonder if a similar scenario will occur from their lack of hindsight! I am so disappointed to hear the news of Si-Fi pulling the plug. I thought it was superior to the original movie. I watched episodes that brought tears to my eyes like not many shows have ever done.

I too saw the slow demise of the heart of the show once RDA had been written out. However I was pleased to see how well Ben Browder had stepped up to the plate.

Not an easy task. For a program that has set standards, raised the proverbial science fiction bar and has fascinated Neilson families, that have not even been counted in survey as that lost phantom CUME, I bow my head in sadness. I have seen every episode in the last ten years. This will leave a void in many peoples viewing habits and love of adventure. Scfi…What happened to you. I remember when you made some good mini series Taken, Farnk Herberts Dune just to name a few.

But you have lost it. Cmon ECW hah The damn sasquash cmon. Get rid of these stupid B movies your better than this damn! What are you doing. You cancel my bleepin show SG-1 and your gonna piss me off without finishing the best show on tv. You have made a mistake and you will regret it. Your telling me i have to wait till 07 to get the a real finale.

You have let me down and everyone else who call themselves scifi fans. I have to be rude, you all have your heads you know where. Wake the bleep up!!!!! I now ban thee thy own SciFi, it has failed me!

I hope you all wither an die! I agree with all of you. I have never really been a scifi fan but my husband is. The UK or Canada may air it earlier. I think that that if another channel will aid the show their ratings will go up. And another thing, a like very much the crew but for them not to say something about this is wrong is not fair for the fans.

Oh My God!! Must be something wrong with the executives, has the ori got to them?? We are going to see part 2 and the inally remaining episodes of season 10 i hope? First Firefly now Stargate how do I get a Nielsen rating box?

This is a horrible idea and i probablyt will cancel my subscription over this. Why not save the money on all of those crappy movies that you produce on Saturdays and put the money towards Stargate?

Sincerely dissapointed………………. This is my all time favorite show no other will ever be able to top SG Atlantis is becoming a very close second, but I will not be able to bring myself to watch it without SG It just would not make since to me, I mean why would they continue running the Atlantis Gate but not continue the Home World Gate. I do not have a great education, but I do believe that this will be a major mistake if Sci Fi does not at least allow a different channel to produce SG I sincerely hope the Sci Fi Channel reconsiders this monumental mistake.

I declare a strike from watching the scifi channel, for anybody who has bin a fan of sg-1 ,anybody who Knew a fan or related to a fan.

As much as i enjoy Stargate Sg1 and as much i hate to see it cancelled i think it was comming to an end. The introduction of the Ori is just a spin off from the Gould — both baddies who want to rule the entire universe………. If the series was to continue who or what would they find for them to stop from wanting to rule the universe again, same old story line as the last i suppose. I always thought that after the Gould were defeated that would be the end, no more stargate, the introduction of the ori was a bonus.

All in all its a shame it finishing i really dont think Atlantis will last much longer but all good things must come to an end. Then it was further established by Jonathon Glassner and Brad Turner.

Here lies the problem. This show has good main actors that are NOT using their chops.. Here lies the problem! No one could take that away from peter deluise, andy mikita or martin wood etc. Canada is no Hollywood or N.

Challenge them…give carter something great to say, instead of Uh.. If stargate sg1 is cancelled, I hereby promise to stop watching everything on the scifi network for at least two years. I suggest everyone do this, and be sure to send a letter via post-office to inform them, so they are totally clear WHY their whole channel goes down the tube.

What morons!!! The problem with the sci fi channel is they prefer to promote shows they own. Its fairly logical, but unfortunately those types of decisions usually end up hurting ratings in the future and even relations with those involved. So yes, it was a good decision in the short run if they were looking at it in terms of funding competition but in the long run they most likely lost a lot of ratings.

The other major factor is ratings, a lot of people stopped watching after Richard Dean Anderson no longer played such an important role. Yes its hard to fill the shoes of such an important role, and yes some people say adding two members of farscape gave it farscape elements which is a load of crap, the characters are developed in completely different circumstances which give them unique seasonings So some of you also have blame.

Just another logical theory to consider based on facts rather than pure speculation and emotion. I have to download each episode using torrent programs.

I have been a huge fan of SG-1 and Im starting to enjoy Atlantis just a much. The Ori story is ended, and the team split up, turning up for various things in Atlantis.

The plots become complacent, as do the characters, and it loses the risk factor which made the show great to begin with. All seasons of all three Stargate television series will no longer be available free with Prime in the United States at the end of the month. Because in the Stargate SG-1 series finale episode unending, Daniel and Vala finally profess their love for each other and had a relationship. They grew old together and died together on that ship.

Stargate franchise Shanks played archaeologist Dr. Daniel Jackson throughout the first five seasons of Stargate SG-1 before leaving the show at the end of its fifth season, citing creative differences concerning the under-use of his character and the direction of the show as a whole.

Neither has happened!
